3 reviews for Stafford Hotel
After staying in a number of London Hotels, my family and I have been staying here ever since. My mom has been coming to London since the 1960s and she will not stay anywhere else. We have been staying at this hotel for years-- the service is impecable, the rooms are beautiful, the restaurant and bar are jewels, and the bathrooms are outstanding in every room. Each room is different and unique and there are no "bad" rooms.
If you want a lovely hotel in a fantastic central location where you can walk to everything, look no further.
There are alot of beautiful hotels. The Stafford has to be one of the most beautiful I have even seen.
I stumbled across it during my first trip to London 9 years ago. I fell in love with it instantly. At the time I was poor (relatively speaking), yet determined to stay there even if just for a night.
It came as no suprise that the weather was foul. I've been to London four times. Its never been nice.
I had left all of my things at the youth hostel and decided that I wasn't going to get on the tube and then walk an additional 5-10 blocks to grab my toothbrush and a change of clothes. Grateful that I had worn several layers (scarf, peacoat, sweater, tank top) and had brought my book I enterred The Stafford not knowing what to expect. I didnt touch my book until 2 days later.
At the front desk I was told all of the rooms are "different." I love "different," "diverse", "unique" and any synonym thereof. The man whose name I don't remember and maybe he never told me at all, offered to have a staff person show me a few of the rooms before I settled into one. A few, became 10-12 and I reveled at the color schemes, textures and general charm and style of each of them.
I spent that entire day in the hotel- the bar- my bathtub- the carriage house- the wine cellar- I sort of crashed a wedding- and I even spent sometime lying on the plush carpetting (not what you think!)
I'm certain I dream of The Stafford from time to time.
It will always be one of my very favorite places to stay.
I just loved it. Everything was perfect. Thank you.
Specialties
The Stafford has an air of timelessness - the feel of a country house with a central London location. Tucked behind Green Park in genteel St James's and surrounded by the shops of Bond Street, Jermyn Street Picadilly and Fortnum & Masons. The hotel is quietly lavish while being warm and welcoming, with period furnishings and antique pieces adorning both bedrooms and public areas. The historic Carriage House rooms are complimented by the 26 new suites in the exclusive Stafford Mews. Both are unrivalled in London with their 17th Century courtyard setting and outdoor space.
Dedicated and dutiful staff play a big part in achieving this delicate balance between professionalism and friendliness. Here is a haven of calm which seems a million miles away from the bustle of Piccadilly just a steps away.
History
Established in 1912
Originally 3 London townhouses dating from the 18th Century the Stafford Main House took it's current form in 1912. During WWII we were home to US and Canadian airforce officers, they sheltered from the Blitz in our 400 year old wine cellars and their legacy remains. The American Bar is festooned with memorabilia dating back 40 years. The 300 year old Carriage House rooms were once the stables of the stately homes nearby and all have their own front door into the historic cobbled courtyard. In 2007 we added 26 new suites in The Stafford Mews and this beautifullly compliments the Carriage House.
